Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

This guy's only laugh was at evil. I think he despised me for being happy and friendly to everyone, always having something nice to say in passing. I used to take my guys to lunch every now and then, sometimes turning into an afternoon, then run back to gather up the tools. I wrote it off on my moral account. I worked for him 16 months and never had a beer with him. He knew nothing about my interests or anything outside of the job. Definitely saw his employees as subservient. I'm a down in the trenches with the troops type of leader. Worked well for me, earned me respect. My guys would do anything for me. With this guy I couldn't wait for quitting time and started dreading Monday come Sunday evening. The days he put me on a job by myself were pure heaven. It's pure heaven every day now
